Lilly Allen, 10, was playing hopscotch outside her home in Kent, England,
when she was approached by police officers that her chalk drawings on
the public pavement was criminal:

[Lilly's father Allen] told the tabloid newspaper: “Two policemen
in a car drove up to her and said it was illegal to draw on the floor
as it was criminal damage. "I am absolutely seething they have
done this."

After the public blowback, the coppers are in retreat:

A Kent Police spokesman said in a statement: "We are trying to
trace the officers, who are reported to have made this comment. "From
the circumstances described, it would not appear to have been necessary
to advise the young girl that chalking a hopscotch grid may be criminal
damage and illegal."
